For people with one or more lost teeth, Implant dentistry can do wonders. Dental implants can offer a lasting solution and an excellent substitute for removable dentures. Missing teeth can cause a lot of discomfort in chewing, speaking, and even your smile gets affected. At times, this problem can cause neighboring teeth to shift. With the shifting of teeth, crevices may occur, allowing plaque a space to build-up. Shifting can even misalign your smile and bite, which will surely have a great impact on your oral health and comfort level.
Implant dentistry is a wonderful substitute if you have missing teeth. Implants are fused straight to the jawbone to reinstate the roots of teeth that are missing. This permits implants to work as an everlasting solution while at the same time safeguarding the gums and bone of the jaw in almost the same fashion as natural teeth. Nevertheless, patients need a well-fiting jawbone for better placement. Patients also need to have superior oral hygiene and should avoid smoking.
When you go for initial consultation, the competent doctors at Balani Hospital carry out an oral check up to decide whether implants can be conducted successfully or not for your missing teeth or tooth.
Dental implants are easily the most popular and also the ideal solution, for replacing your missing tooth/teeth. They have definitely changed the course of dentistry in the last quarter of a century or so.
A dental implant is basically a titanium post that is surgically inserted into the jawbone beneath the gum line to work as a tooth root. Post-insertion, an implantologist will attach a crown on top of the implant to ensure the appearance of a natural tooth.
Tooth implants not only look and feel like your natural teeth but also function like them.
One can face the problem of missing teeth at any point in life. Tooth loss can be due to trauma, accidents, severe gum disease, tooth decay ,or even due to poor oral hygiene. If left untreated, missing teeth can lead to various consequences, such as:
Speech problems resulting from the gap created by one or more missing teeth.
Difficulty in chewing.
Face may start to look older and wrinkled with sunken cheeks as missing teeth can cause sagging of muscles that can’t support lips & cheeks.
Pain in the facial muscles of the jaw resulting in an improper bite induced by the missing teeth.
Over time,tooth decay and gum disease, due to plaque accumulation & food entrapment in the gap caused by the missing teeth.
Improper bite resulting from a tilt of adjacent teeth into the empty spaces caused by a missing tooth
Untreated missing teeth may dent the facial appearance causing low self-esteem or a lack of confidence.
Hiding a smile during conversations or at public gatherings to avoid the embarrassment caused by a bad smile from missing teeth.
Dental implants help to overcome all the above-mentioned problems. They are no doubt the best, and most
popular solution for the replacement of missing teeth. Dental implants are sutable for every individual
with missing teeth, irrespective of their age and gender. To find out if anyone can get dental
implants.
With a 98% success rate, implants assure dental patients about their teeth and gum wellbeing.
Dental implants are essentially a ‘titanium screw’ that is fused with the jaw bone.
| Bridges | Implants |
| May compromise the adjacent natural tooth | Does not compromise with an adjacent tooth |
| A bridge may need replacement at times where bone loss continues at the site of the missing tooth | An implant causes no bone loss as it gets attached with the bone and promotes healthy bone |
| With bridges, your teeth may be prone to plaque, decay or gum disease, with a risk of possible future root canal | With no free spaces in between, implants won’t attract bacteria ever for plaque accumulation |
Dental Implants help restore the lost tooth and become the next best thing to your natural teeth.
Implants are a durable solution with the potential to even outlive the patient.

The latest advancements in implant dentistry are the tilted Concept and Pterygoid Implants ALL TILT TECHNIQUE.
Zygomatic implants are an advanced dental implant technique used in the upper jaw i.e. maxilla.
These implants are longer than traditional implants and hence can be placed even in cases where the remaining bone is insufficient. Zygomatic implants are inserted through the alveolar crest and maxillary sinus, involving the zygomatic bone for anchorage.
Investigations required before an implant surgery include a CBCT scan, which helps to assess the amount of available bone and to plan the treatment accordingly.
Most commonly, the zygomatic implants are combined with two to four anterior maxillary axial implants. Typically, two zygomatic implants are used along with other ordinary implants, but sometimes four of them may be used, depending on the case.
Conventional implants for the upper arch are anchored to the upper jawbones, whereas the zygomatic implants are anchored into the dense zygomatic arch, giving them strong anchorage.
Conventional implants require a sufficient amount of bone to be present, whereas zygomatic implants can be placed in bone-deficient areas.
Zygomatic implants eliminate the need for additional procedures like bone grafting and sinus lifts thereby contributing to a shorter and more comfortable procedure.
You get fixed teeth within two to three days, or 24 hours, as compared to conventional implant techniques that take up to 6 months.
The number of days at the hospital is reduced by avoiding grafts, and thus total expenditure also decreases.
Only a day after the surgery, the patient will be able to bite and chew their normal food and continue his /her normal activities.
